HC Deb 17 February 1971 vol 811 cc481-2W
Mr. Iremonger

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many motor vehicles of Japanese manufacture have been found defective through faults in the manufacture since examinations began under Section 56 of the Road Traffic Act. 1960; and if he will make arrangements for accidents involving Japanese vehicles to be notified to him for special investigation.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

The information requested is not available but reports on accidents involving mechanical defects do not suggest that special action is required in respect of Japanese vehicles.
